I drew this picture of Louie Armstrong when I was 16. I gave it to my grandfather, John Wesley Ashworth, Sr. after finishing it. He was extremely proud of it and hung it in his den. He passed away two years ago at age 97 and I got it back. I've always loved his expression. This was done in Pastel from an album cover. I must not have had an eraser, notice the white blotches near his ear and forehead. I remember I slipped and got color where I didn't want it and used the white to mask it. Live and learn.
